The best unranked fighters in each division who are very close to the top 15 (they deserve for their next fight to be against a ranked opponent, or they might be just one win away from earning that privilege).
This was made by my opinion, my point of views, what I credit in their wins, quality+quantity both over only quality or quantity. I missed some fighters on purpose, and did not include those who, in my opinion, need 2 wins.
Heavyweight:
Is there any unranked heavyweight particularly that really deserve rankings?
